Library building is taking shape – Wales

A BOLT was tightened on the roof of Cardiff’s new central library to mark a milestone in work on the project.

The new library will include study spaces, reading areas, meeting rooms and the latest educational materials, information and entertainment. The fit-out begins later this year with the opening earmarked for early next year.

Located on the former Marriott Hotel car park opposite Mill Lane, the new library features pioneering environmental measures, including a green roof that is designed to enhance biodiversity by retaining rainwater, reducing heat in the summer and acting as an insulator in the winter.
